11. The orders prohibit seating, they don't close the business entirely

Sit-down service is prohibited, but take-out and deliveries are allowed. There are a lot of restaurants that will have to close because of that, but a McDonalds is not one of them. Take-out is a mainstay of their business.

The idea is to avoid people congregating in confined areas for any length of time.

That may not help your son decide on what to do, but it's a clearer picture of what the governor ordered.
